More About
This Textbook

Overview

The Iowa Dietetic Association published its first diet manual more than 40 years ago, and since then the Simplified Diet Manual has been an invaluable guide and resource for hospitals and long-term care facilities in every state and many foreign countries. In a straightforward and uncomplicated way, the Simplified Diet Manual presents basic diet principles, general and modified diets, and menus to help health care workers and dietitians provide their clients with nutritious and pleasing meals. This seventh edition incorporates many of the food trends and changes in health care that have affected nutrition therapy in recent years, such as Americans' concern about limiting dietary fat and the increased ethnic mix in American food choices. Major changes from previous editions include menu planning guidelines based on the Food Guide Pyramid; the addition of Vegetarian, Finger Food, and Limited Concentrated Sweets diets; the inclusion of the Protein and Electrolyte Controlled Diet based upon the 1993 National Renal Diet; and revision of the Diet for Diabetes to match 1994 recommendations.
